Synopsis
Based around an interview with Tadao Ando, this book explores the influence of the Buddhist concept of nothingness on Ando’s Christian architecture, and sheds new light on the cultural significance of the buildings of one of the world’s leading contemporary architects.
Specifically, this book situates Ando’s churches, particularly his world-renowned Church of the Light (1989), within the legacy of nothingness expounded by Kitaro Nishida (1870-1945), the father of the Kyoto Philosophical School.
Linking Ando’s Christian architecture with a philosophy originating in Mahayana Buddhism illuminates the relationship between the two religious systems, as well as tying Ando’s architecture to the influence of Nishida on post-war Japanese art and culture.

From the Back Cover
The Christian architecture by Tadao Ando, one of the most celebrated contemporary architects, has acquired a monumental status in post-war religious architecture. The book explores the cultural significance of Ando's works such as the Church of the Light (1989) in reference to the Buddhist idea of nothingness. Specifically, the book situates the works within the legacy of nothingness expounded by Kitaro Nishida (1870-1945), the father of the Kyoto Philosophical School, and its theory of perception and shintai, or the Japanese term for body. The interview text with Ando elucidates his conception and embodiment of sacred space as it pertains to nothingness, the relationship between his residential architecture and Christian architecture, and his design approach to the Museum of Kitaro Nishida's Philosophy (2002).
